Verdict
Passio GO and XRadar both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of XRadar's written reviews are positive against 24% of Passio GO's. XRadar also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Passio GO's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 62) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Passio GO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Passio GO has 11K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Passio GO's written reviews are positive against 81% of XRadar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Passio GO ships an update monthly, XRadar every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
